    He can try there also. Not sure they hire where he lives, but he can submit an application and find out.
    School will be in Burns Harbor, Indiana; same as KLLM. @Jenn72 can give him accurate information.

    Stevens Transport does urine drug test.
    The others do hair follicle drug test.

    You don't need to live close to a terminal because you can take the truck home with you.

    Millis may be an option but you won't get much farther west than MN down to Texas.

    For FFE he will need to hire out of the Xenia, Oh or Lemont, Illinois terminal. The training would be in Burns Harbor, Indiana at our sister company (KLLM)

    Starting pay is $0.50 a mile for a rookie fresh out of school.
